Crafts with kids – plywood violin cutout, 5–50 cm

The concert invitations are ready. The gift bags for the music pupils are packed. Only the right motif is still missing. This wooden violin is made for exactly that. It is a finely laser-cut silhouette of the string instrument. You can paint it, stick things onto it or simply use it as it is. That way, you can design everything to do with music and musical instruments in one matching style – from place cards to shop window displays.

What changes for you

• You design the motif just the way you want – because the plywood is untreated. You can coat it, oil it, stick things onto it or paint it.
• Your craft project works without any finishing – thanks to the smooth laser-cut edges, there's no sanding or cutting to do.
• You'll find the right size for every idea – from a small 5 cm violin for table scatter to a large 50 cm decorative silhouette. Sizes are available in 1 cm steps.
• You can easily supply larger projects too – because the violin is available singly or in sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100 pieces.
• You're holding a piece of honest craftsmanship. It's made in Bütic's own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

Why this wooden violin makes a difference in everyday life

A shop-bought decoration looks like the ones everywhere else. A motif you design yourself tells your story. With the violin silhouette, you link invitations, gifts and decorations around music with one motif. You don't have to search for long. Maybe you're crafting with kids at the kitchen table. Or you're preparing the next pupils' concert. Either way, you have a motif that is instantly recognisable and fits what matters to you.

Material & finish

The violin is laser-cut from 3 mm thick plywood. It has the typical brown edge, which gives the silhouette a fine outline. The wood is left natural, not varnished or glazed. This is why paint, glue and oil adhere particularly well. Wood is a purely natural material. It varies in shade, shows a lively grain and may have small knots. This makes every piece one of a kind – not a flaw, but character. The clean finish means you can get started straight away.

• In a shop window or shop: one large 50 cm violin, and passers-by recognise your theme at first glance.

Good to know about the violin

For centuries, the violin has been at the heart of the orchestra and the string quartet. Its body is traditionally made of wood. That's why the plywood silhouette suits anything to do with music so well. Use it as a thank-you for the violin teacher, on a concert invitation or as decoration in the music room.

Care & durability

There isn't much you need to do. As the wood is untreated, it is best kept in dry indoor areas. Avoid constant moisture. If you paint or oil the violin, you protect the surface further and keep it looking good for a long time.
